• Is it possible to add a social icon and link to a social network that is not among the options provided in the Home Social Section? If so, how?

    (While the social link options provided are good, there are a number missing.)

    Thanks.

  • I have the same question.

    I solved the problem by using a social media, I don’t require and changed the logo at the page-home.php.

    Hi artports,

    So how did you solve it exactly? I take it you have changed the php code somehow. But if I want to replace the Dribble link, for example, with a link to Ello, I can’t just replace “dribble” with “ello”.

    If I take this:

    <?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_dribble' ) ) : ?>
                                    	<li>
                                        <a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_dribble' )); ?>">
                                        <i class="fa fa-dribble"></i>
                                        </a>
                                        </li>
    								<?php endif; ?>

    And write this:

    <?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_ello' ) ) : ?>
                                    	<li>
                                        <a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_theme_mod( 'sensiblewp_ello' )); ?>">
                                        <i class="fa fa-ello"></i>
                                        </a>
                                        </li>
    								<?php endif; ?>

    I get a “parse error: syntax error”. I suppose the code has to point to a logo and an URL. So where to include that info?

    I changed only the logo “fa-rss” to “fa-xing”:

    <?php if ( get_theme_mod( ‘sensiblewp_rss’ ) ) : ?>

    Hi,
    now I could change the social icon everywhere. Just go to fonts/font-awesome.css and replace the unicode. You can find it under https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for the suggestions. We will add more options in the next release.

    If you would like a new icon, please use this thread to request it.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your comment modernthemesnet.

    I would like to have the possibility to put the Ello logo in the social link bar.

    You can find the logos here: https://ello.co/wtf/post/ello-logo

    But why not simply add an option (like Jetpack) to add social links to any social network using a universal share logo?

    Hi artports,

    I’ve worked out what to do from your suggestions. Thanks for the pointer.

    If you are using the social links in the footer as well as the header you will need to make similar changes to footer.php.

    And of course you’re making the changes in a child-theme so you don’t lose them all when Sensible next upgrades ??

    Cheers!

    Hello if it possible I would like to put VK.COM logo in the social link bar
    Thank you very much for your theme
